Chapter 896: Not Open for Business Today
"You're pretty arrogant, kid? Do you think these people aren't enough?" Wang Ge grinned and waved his hand, saying, "Call all our men over. We're not doing business by the river today. Ask everyone to leave; I want to have some fun with this kid."
"Yes, Wang Ge." A thug nodded and began clearing the area.
This Wang Ge was a local gang leader. It was said he had a big shot backing him, and the surrounding streets were his territory. He certainly had many underlings. Those who had heard of him looked at Chen Yu with some pity.
They felt that Chen Yu, an outsider, was incredibly unfortunate to have inexplicably provoked someone like Wang Ge.
Dozens of people rushed over, about fifty or so. They were holding weapons and surrounded Chen Yu with malicious expressions.
"Are your people all here?" Chen Yu grinned and turned his head to look at this guy.
"That's right, they're all here." Wang Ge sneered, "But kid, I intend to fight you one-on-one today. You ambushed me earlier, but this time, I'm going to fight you fair and square."
"Are you sure?" Chen Yu stared at the guy as if looking at someone mentally disabled.
"I'm sure." Wang Ge roared and lunged fiercely at Chen Yu.
Bang... The guy's body was kicked flying by Chen Yu again. He flew a full five or six meters before hitting the ground with a thud. This time, Chen Yu used force; the guy spat out a mouthful of blood and began shivering on the ground.
"Get him, kill him." Wang Ge's underlings were enraged. They howled and lunged at Chen Yu. Chen Yu slapped several people away, his figure flashed, and he spun a circle among the crowd. Afterimages swept through them, and the group screamed as they all fell to the ground with bangs.
Having taken on dozens of people alone, Chen Yu didn't even pant. He then stepped forward and stomped his foot onto Wang Ge's head.
Wang Ge had been about to crawl up, but his head was heavily crushed into the ground by Chen Yu. The guy's face hit the ground, and he began to scream.
"Anyone else?" Chen Yu grinned.
"Ah, take it easy, hero, spare my life." This grandson Wang Ge was quicker to act cowardly than anyone. With one stomp from Chen Yu, he immediately surrendered.
"With just this little bit of skill, you dare to act like a king around here?" Chen Yu sneered, "Truly, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey claims to be king. I'll give you a lesson today. Never cross me again in the future, otherwise, I will absolutely not spare you. Get lost."
With a kick, he sent Wang Ge flying. The guy took his dozens of underlings and fled in a panic. The once-lively place was now completely empty.
Only Zhou Xin looked at Chen Yu with eyes that held some fear and evasion.
"It's fine, it's all resolved. Let me take you back. Also, do you have a patient at home? If you don't mind, I can go over and take a look. I am a Yisheng and can help you," Chen Yu said.
Chen Yu really didn't have any other intentions. He and this girl named Zhou Xin were just chance acquaintances, but he felt a trace of sorrow and desolation about her.
This was a feeling only possessed by those who had experienced life or great storms, yet she was a girl in her twenties, and her speech and demeanor were not like those of an ordinary person. Thus, Chen Yu was curious about what kind of story had happened to her.
However, the other party did not appreciate Chen Yu's good intentions. Chen Yu took a step forward, and Zhou Xin hurriedly retreated several steps. Her voice trembled slightly: "No, no need, thank you."
Chen Yu frowned slightly. He saw Zhou Xin's fear of him, but he had no malice and had even helped her just now. Why was this girl so afraid of him?
"I, I don't have any other intentions, I just wanted to help you," Chen Yu said: "You don't need to be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
"Really, no need. Thank you. I, I'll go now." Zhou Xin suppressed the fear in her heart. She lowered her head, hugged her guitar, and turned to leave.
Just at this moment, Wu Fei's call came through: "Mr. Chen, there is news about the Zhou Family sisters. These years, the sisters have been constantly changing addresses and identities."
"Zhou Yuqing's name is now Zhou Xin, and she is singing for a living in a bar by the river..."
"Her name is Zhou Xin?" Chen Yu was startled. The girl he helped just now was named Zhou Xin; was she Zhou Yuqing?
"Yes, she has never given up on her sister's treatment all these years. She is now at the hospital's Rehabilitation Department," Wu Fei said.
"Alright, I know." Chen Yu put away his phone and glanced in the direction Zhou Xin had left. He finally understood why Zhou Xin felt fear toward him.
It was because the ability Chen Yu displayed just now, taking on dozens of people alone, was extraordinary.
And Zhou Yuqing's family had all died at the hands of those in the Martial Dao who possessed special abilities. Therefore, she held great wariness toward people like him.
It was no wonder her expression carried such heavy vicissitudes; she was someone who had experienced life and great storms.
Hospital, Rehabilitation Department, Zhou Xin, or rather Zhou Yuqing, arrived at a ward.
Inside the ward was a teenage girl. She was paralyzed from the waist down and lying on the bed. She had delicate features and looked somewhat similar to Zhou Yuqing. She was Zhou Yuqing's younger sister, Zhou Meng.
Zhou Meng should have been at an innocent and lively age, but now she could only lie on the bed without moving.
Six years ago, Zhou Meng was only six. When the Zhou Family suffered a massacre, she witnessed her parents die tragically before her eyes. Of the sixteen direct members of the Zhou Family, except for her older sister who was away and herself who hid under the bed and luckily escaped, everyone else was slaughtered.
At that time, because she saw that bloody scene with her own eyes, she was excessively frightened, which led to her paralysis.
For six years, Zhou Yuqing had never given up on her treatment, but the results were not very obvious.
"Mengmeng..." Zhou Yuqing walked in. She wiped away the complex expression on her face and put on a smiling one. No matter what, she had to remain happy in front of her sister.
"Sister, you're back?" Seeing her sister return, Mengmeng revealed a sweet smile. She tried hard to move her body and put down the book in her hand.
Zhou Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward, helped her sit up, then put down the things in her hand and began to massage her.
Only by constantly receiving massages and rehabilitation could her sister's body keep her muscles from continuing to atrophy. She worked during the day and came back at night to massage her, never once stopping.
"Sister, did you suffer grievances again today?" Although Zhou Yuqing didn't say anything, her sensible sister still noticed a trace of abnormality in her sister's eyes.
"No, no, Sister is very happy today. A customer was very generous and tipped a lot of money." Zhou Yuqing smiled reluctantly; she didn't want her sister to worry about her.
